Vimium: can't disable keys for ssh.cloud.google.com ssh web client

Created on 24 Mar 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: philc/vimium

Somehow i can not disable the plugin for the ssh client on google cloud console. I tried to add differnt rules but the keys stay active. I have to disable the plugin completely.

@baracoder Solution: Add a new rule for vimium, set it's patterns as "about:blank", then save changes, that's it.

As @smblott-github said, the terminal is running in an iframe, I found this iframe's url is "about:blank". You can check it by typing "document.getElementById('terminal').getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].contentWindow.location.href" in the Chrome DevTools' console.

Please provide either a link, or instructions on how to reproduce.

Actually, I guess this is some kind of SSH terminal running in the browser.

Do you mean "disable keys" (as in, just some keys) or disable Vimium on the site? I guess the latter.

The problem might be that the SSH/terminal part is running in an iframe or something. The exclusion rule you'd need would have to match the URL of the iframe (not the URL of the tab).

@dusu: such a coincidence that you posted about this 6 hours ago! I was just struggling with this issue and your fix is definitely working for me. Thanks!

sorry for the lack of details on how to reproduce the issue.

@dusu thanks, adding a rule for about:blank works!
